Moloch - 2022 - 7/10
Horror outing finds rural inhabitants encountering archeologists.
Out in the bog, diggers find a body, then a string of bodies.
All females, throats slit, going back centuries.
Of course the educated outsiders are thrilled. For locals, concern mounts daily.
As do weird sightings, home break-ins, and superstitious legends, disguised yet celebrated.
Folk horror, reminiscent of recent films with similar themes.
Skeptics may say derivative.
If curious, I’d suggest watching cold, as one or two spoilers reveal every single late twist.
